Monday at Capitol Hill at a House Democrats news conference, discussing Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) comments last week that her “greatest desire,” would be to impeach President Donald Trump, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the president has “acted in a way that is strategically incoherent, that is incompetent and that is reckless.” and that is not grounds for impeachment but “When and if he breaks the law, that is when something like that would come up.”

Pelosi said, “I’m not here to talk about impeachment today. I’m here to talk about the assault that the Trump administration is making on America’s working families. Anything of the things that the congresswoman said are grounds for the displeasure and unease in the public about the performance of this president who has acted in a way that is strategically incoherent, that is incompetent and that is reckless. That is not grounds for impeachment. When and if he breaks the law, that is when something like that would come up.”
